Triple M just reported that players sent coaches and staff out of the meeting room.  Suspect some sort of pact was being hatched!

Players are really owning this - absolutely beautiful!

Our players?

How good was that?! As always, the usual suspects were great, but i thought Frosty and Weids were awesome! Can't wait to send the Cats packing next in a fortnight!

Was at the game today, it was electric!

Harmes full sprint one hand pickup in the third that led to a goal was nirvana.

How bloody good was that!

Not one passenger today. Lesser lights eg JKH really earns their stripes. Oscar and Frost career best games. Great offence, great defence and 2 men down. Have never been more proud. 

Max is already a Demon great.

Love this sort of stuff

I reckon today we found the game plan to win at the G.  In fact we smashed it at the G.

Huge, huge confidence game.

[brendan 3,434]

It’s going to be a long long two weeks 

[Deeoldfart 8,005]

Our beloved Demons just keep giving and giving. My heart is exploding with pride right now.  Hard to keep a lid on it, but I don't have to.  Onward and upward into September Dees!

[Jibroni 4,987]

Feel for Kent and Tyson but boy what a day. James Harmes went up a notch today, he is a gun!

[DeeZee 7,363]

Frost was like Superman today , and Harmes has developed into an out and out star!

All those who carped about Melbourne not beating top 8 eight sides can now officially GAGF.  We are worthy finalists and will do some damage. Bye bye cats next week.

Also all the Jones haters can GAGF - top game from the Captain.

Where are all the Jones and Frost haters?  You all should hang your heads in shame. Especially since our Captain carried this club on his back through the darkest period of our club. #NFI

The haters have disappeared quicker than Malcolm Turnbull's front office.

Bloody beautiful. To go in with such good form and lots of players hitting their straps is bloody exciting. 

See ya in two weeks. Thanks for the great birthday present Dees!

JKH was excellent. Nothing flash but consistently applied pressure and contests. Flew once against the flight to save a certain GWS mark on the lead. The less said about the “supporters” who bagged him pre-game the better.

Super impressed Weid as well. So proud to have always backed him - faith is being repaid.

It was the midfield that got it done for us though. The Gawn, Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes combo has become the stuff of dreams. Adding Viney in there makes it sound frightful.

[P-man 13,366]

I can’t believe the elevation of Harmes this season. He’s playing A grade football right now.

[Pates 9,660]

Positives: we played like a finals team today. 

Negatives: injuries, bloody injuries. 

It’s ironic that after all our doomsaying, that we had to beat a top 8 team to make finals that in the end we beat two and arguably threw the game away against the Swans with bad kicking. We are one of the in form teams in the 8, and I can’t wait to see us take on Geelong. 

Oh a quick shout out to the cats who while being outside the 8 had the arrogance to request a final at the cattery should they finish high enough. How about you get into that position before saying crap like that! Fl0gs!

Frost's ground speed was something else. And much sharper execution as well. I love how even after he sprints and releases the ball, he keeps going to make sure there's another option. Agree, it's been great to watch Harmes' development this year. He really has been able to capitalise on a combination of strength and silky skills.

Just as long as that lasts a month and a half.

[What 18,810]

Oh yeah just a reminder we flogged them despite being two men down from early in the game.

That was a brilliant performance. 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,826]

A delightfully played team game.

Might have been JKH's best game, but I reckon the big win has led to some rose-coloured glasses. Spargo was very ordinary again, despite a couple of good things. Gotta be in doubt for our first final on form, but the injuries are mounting up.
